I want to find the person who makes me feel like I found the piece of myself I never knew was missing. I want the nerves and all the good vibes associated with falling for someone new, and when I find that person I have so much love I want to give to him.
I won’t be hesitant, I won’t try to be someone I’m not and I won’t try to impress him. I’ll just be me, because if he’s the right person that will be enough. Once I find that person I want to give him all the love in my heart, despite any prior heartache I’ve felt.
Because I want to give the right person everything I have in me, through the good and the bad.
I’ll love you with all my heart and make sure you know you’re the only one I care about. I’ll make you feel safe and secure around me, like when we’re together the world can’t touch us. I’ll always keep your promises and won’t wager your trust. I want you to know you can always count on me to be there. I can always promise I’ll be the last person you see at night and the first person you see again in the morning, as long as that’s what you want.
I’ll learn your favorite meals and cook them for you when you’ve had a long day. I’ll make your morning coffee with mine and cook your eggs exactly the way you like them. I’ll become an expert at cooking your favorite dessert, just like your mom does, and if I’m not an expert I’ll try until I am. I’ll always smile like a fool when you make me happy. And I’ll always cheer you on when you’re trying to accomplish something you’ve been working for.
I promise I’ll try to learn everything about you so I can do the little things every day to show you how much I care.
I want to surprise you with little gifts because they made me think of you. I want to send you a funny YouTube clip because I know it would make you laugh. I want to leave notes around that tell you why I love you or tell you what I want to do to you.
I want to go out of my way to make you happy because your happiness is in fact my happiness.
I’ll always offer you the last piece of something and kiss you good morning. I’ll always let you share my food with me and tell you “I love you” even when you already know. I’ll always ask you about your day and listen your response. I promise to always laugh at your jokes, even the ones that really aren’t funny. I’ll always try to make you laugh and pull you back in the rain to kiss me even though we’re both getting soaking wet. I promise I’ll sit through your TV shows I hate and will try not to complain. I’ll make you soup when you’re sick and bring you medicine.
I promise the adventures will never stop and we can continue to explore for as long as we live. I’ll never tell you there is a mountain too high for us to climb. I’ll always say yes to road trips and be okay with getting lost because you claimed you knew where you were going. I’ll love you through all the ups and downs, and bumpy roads we will face.
I won’t expect you to be perfect because I know you’re not. I know you’ll screw up, I know you’ll do things that make me want to rip my hair out and I’m positive I’ll do those things to you, too. I know we will fight and struggle through hard times because that’s life. But on top of all the struggles we face I promise I will always face them with you. I promise that I won’t quit on you when things get hard. I promise I’ll still work through things with you and won’t run away from our problems. I’ll face them head on with you by my side because that’s the only way things will get better.
I’m not saying I’m perfect, but I promise I can be worth it because I’ll always give you all the love I have in my heart and love you unconditionally.
